It would have been very interesting to see Raja roaming as free as Keller. GCN still really suffers from insufficient development of the whole architecture and too many patch-up fixes.

That will really depend on what specific fix causes these performance losses. Meltdown has no need to be fixed on AMD CPUs, so if that part of the patch is responsible, their reaction would be absolutely legitimate.

"Optimized speed and latency for cache and memory controller" And don't forget Precision Boost 2.

I read there are just some missing libaries which can be installed after the driver and probably will be included in a coming hotfix.

TDP means "thermal design power". It does NOT mean "maximum power that the processor can consume while in a less constrained environment". TDP means exactly "thermal power dissipation the system has to tolerate/dissipate off the processor in order for it to work properly", in which "properly"...

AVX-512 or all AVX-extensions of x86 basically have one purpose: process SIMD workloads as fast as possible. Guess what kind of processor is even better at that: GPUs. However AVX has three major advantages over GPUs: 1. Unlocked DP and higher - most GPUs can only compute single precision or...

Afaik the dedicated hardware for SMT makes up such a small part of the core (for intel anyways) and therefore has such a low chance of being defective while the core still functioning that the yield question is a clear no for me. They would be better off (yield-wise) to sell tri-cores with SMT...

Juan, I think you might have to remember that the 40% IPC they claim over Excavator is not meant for every piece of software in existence, even something above 100% is fairly possible in certain circumstances. Even if you just take the amount of FPU pipelines, there is 2 FMACs for 2 bulldozer...
